One last tool we want to share with you for #EarthDay this week are Digital carbon ratings. What are they? In short, they are quick letter grades you can use to determine how carbon intensive your website is. We found Wagtail websites were pretty solid compared to the industry averages. Have a look: https://wagtail.org/blog/digital-carbon-ratings-in-practice/

Thank you 🫶 to everyone who submitted a #GSoC proposal to work with us over the summer! We received 190 proposals and it’s been really tough to narrow it down to the 3-6 we are able to provide mentors for. We’ll hear from Google on confirmed projects next week - looking forward to it!

All right #content people, where do you get images for your content these days? We've experimented with #AI art. But we've found open source images with a snazzy filter (like the image for this blog: https://wagtail.org/blog/gsoc-2021-wrapup/) work just as well.
Can there be a #ResponsibleAI approach to generating art? If not, how do you source your art?
